About this book

The worldwide shift from coal to oil-based technology was devastating for many communities. This book tells the story of one such community: Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Through this case study, Rose defines both the vulnerability and the strength of local populations whose fortunes rest with the energy economy of the world.
